Infrad Noir

There's a lot of strong leather and suede notes when you first spray this -- a few minutes after, the scent settles and the fruity notes come forward. Funny, it's usually the other way around with fruity and leather notes. It's an unique scent. I smell a lot of pink pepper and mandarin with a subtle backing of leather and amber. Very nice scent with a cool and unique bottle.

This is a really good scent, I'm writing this because I hate the smell of leather, but it's silky here, not animalistic. I've never smelled Imperial Valley, but this is a masterpiece!! Even I, who am very judgmental, was surprised by this scent! I recommend it, I recommend it and I recommend it

It has vibes of God of fire and Tygar but sweeter, muskier and woodier. Mature and elegant. Addicting smell. You can wear this all year around. I haven’t smell Imperial Valley so I can’t compare but this is banger! For just $30 you’ll be the best smelling person around. Give it a try!

Just bought it for 12€😁 Nice spring or fall scent with very good performance. It has nothing to do with God of Fire or Tygar. It's musky and leathery at the drydown. After all a great pick up at this price point.

A great smelling cheapie, musky, powdery and fresh, stays around for a while 😊💯

Cannot comment on how close this is to the Imperial Valley but pleasantly surprised by this one! Very citrusy and peppery in the opening moving to a more musky, very light leather and smoky oud scent with a really nice fruity sweetness coming through. Don't be scared by the leather and oud in this one. Both very light and faint in the background. First spray out of the box lasted quite well and will only get better with time.

I like it. I have no experience on Imperial Valley. Masculine scent. I would not use it in the summer heat but all other seasons fine. Maybe evening out scent rather than daily wear. Oriental scent for sure. I get tone of spice and oud. Something that I am not sure what gives it slight freshness.

Testing against a sample of the OG. The opening is more animalic in the clone, smells like BO, but after 20 mins infrad noir is 85% close. Muddier and more 2D than the OG, so if you can do get the OG as IMO the quality is quite higher in the OG. Sultan the conqueror from FA is higher quality and closer to the OG.

First spay from a new bottle doesn't impress me. To animalic and smells like feces. Kinda same note like Im smelling in Marj by Ahmed...dry down is better, but still not pleasant to my nose. Compared to latthani, infrad is much more animalic and not so luxury, but somehow same vibe.

Picked this up for £12.10 so dirt cheap. Upon receiving and spraying, initial thoughts were now I know why it was so cheap... the opening is awful. Strong oud notes and almost some sort of sweat/faeces vibes for the first few minutes HOWEVER... After those brutal first few minutes it does begin to settle. You get some leather, some pink pepper, some musk. It becomes a lot less harsh on the nose for yourself and others, but it never becomes a truly nice fragrance. Everything just seems slightly off with each scent, even at the low price of £12.10 it's still not worth purchasing. If you want to smell like a sweaty flip flop that's been worn all day around the streets of Mumbai, this stuff is for you.
